Telehealth and Telemedicine

Telehealth has revolutionized the delivery of health care, offering convenience and access to care like never before. However, this innovation also opens the door to liability and malpractice risks. Health care professionals and providers must understand and comply with evolving legal standards in order to reduce exposure and mitigate risk when incorporating advances in technology into medical practice. 

According to Adam Fulginiti, chair of our Telehealth & Telemedicine Practice Group, “As telehealth continues to grow, so do the complexities surrounding its legal framework and implementation. From a legal perspective, regulatory compliance and proactive risk management are essential not only to avoid costly penalties, but to safeguard the integrity of your practice, reduce the likelihood of litigation, and protect both your patients and your professional reputation."

From licensing and cross-border regulations to privacy concerns and malpractice exposure, we help clients navigate the intersection of health care, technology and the law. We collaborate with medical organizations regarding best practices for new technologies, study proposed legislation, and educate and advocate on behalf of our clients as laws are developed and implemented, with the goal of helping you stay compliant, mitigate risks, and deliver quality care safely and effectively.
